This may be an unpopular opinion but we should consider moving the Canada / US border 250km north along the Detroit river. Moving the border north 250km would reduce the amount of cross border trips for the automotive industry negating a lot of the tariff issues. And I don’t think the geniuses ruling the US would realize that moving the border north along this stretch would result in Canada gaining over 9000km² of land.

The reason this may be unpopular is because Canada would inherit the Detroit Red Wings.

CBC'Elbows up Canada:' Windsor community protests U.S. in cross-border rally | CBC NewsThe message from hundreds who rallied at Windsor's riverfront on Saturday was clear: Canada is strong and proud. But there was also disappointment and disillusionment about the rhetoric of the U.S. administration toward its closest ally.

The Great Migration wasn't just about factory jobs. Many Black entrepreneurs moved North seeking business opportunities denied to them in the Jim Crow South, as a historian of Black business explains: https://theconversation.com/the-story-of-the-great-migration-often-overlooks-black-businesses-that-built-detroit-249006

Because of tariffs and recession fears, Americans are more likely to buy a sedan instead of a pricey SUV or truck.

But Detroit doesn’t offer any sedans. Foreign automakers do.

In Fast Company, I explained why car bloat leaves the Big Three uniquely vulnerable to Trump’s economic chaos.

Removing blighted properties in #Detroit increases nearby home values by just $162 on average. At that rate, it would take 50 years for property tax gains to cover demolition costs.

Today in Labor History March 6, 1930: 100,000 people demonstrated for jobs in New York City. Demonstrations by unemployed workers, demanding unemployment insurance, occurred in virtually every major U.S. city. In New York, police attacked a crowd of 35,000. In Cleveland, 10,000 people battled police. In Detroit, the Communist Party organized an underemployment demonstration. Over 50,000 people showed up. Thousands took to the streets in Toledo, Flint and Pontiac. These demonstrations led to the creation of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), sponsored by Republican congressman Hamilton Fish, with the support of the American Federation of Labor, to investigate and quash radical activities.

Unemployed workers marching for jobs in the 1930s. They’re carrying a banner that reads: “Work or Riot, One or the Other.”

Climate change could trigger more water main breaks like Southwest Detroit disaster

Increasingly volatile winter temperatures and prolonged summer heat may be creating problems for Detroit’s aging water infrastructur

-Experts say extreme cold and heat can lead to water main breaks.
-Winter conditions complicate repairs, as snow and ice hinder access to valves.
-Burying pipes deeper could mitigate future breaks, though it won't eliminate them entirely
